In recent years archaeologists in South America discovered plots of ground, called Terra Preta soils, that are amazingly fertile and productive. What is more amazing is that these plots of ground were manmade by the Inca Indians before Columbus discovered the Americas. Despite being in the rainforest where soils are depleted rapidly, these plots of [...]
We are continually striving to provide you with the most nourishing food that we can. One of the things that we have learned from Carey Reams and RBTI (Reams Biological Theory of Ionization) is the importance of colloidal minerals and calcium for plants, humans and animals. Last year we changed our mineral supplement that we [...]

Last spring we gave our children a challenge – for every bird house that they put up that had a nest in it we would give them $1. The project was a success. We put up a total of 34 bird houses around the farm, and 21 had at least one nest built in them. [...]

Minerals, as we all know, are vital for life. Getting enough calcium, vitamins and colloidal minerals is essential for keeping our body running well and rebuilding the cells on time, and with all the proper building blocks.
However, we cannot live on mineral and vitamin supplements. God gave us food to eat, not mineral supplements. After [...]

We feed our chickens organic feed. With prices of organic feed close to double that of conventional feed, it is easy to wonder, "Is it really worth it?" Nutrient-density tests of organic produce have often shown that "organic" does not equal "nutrient-dense". Sometimes, organic produce will be as bad as—or worse than—conventional produce. Some, therefore, [...]

Wrong philosophies eventually come to an end, and it is interesting watching it happen to factory farming. The elections brought about a change that you may not have heard about. California voters voted to do away with cages for laying hens, and the typical very small pens for hogs and veal calves. Most of the [...]

Thank you for your support this year. It is your support that makes it possible for us to provide clean, healthy, nutritious, pasture-raised meats and eggs for you. Now, more than ever, it is important that small local farms have the support of the consumers around them. We have been hearing a lot in the [...]

In Henry Ford’s book, My Life and Work, he explains why the first Fordson tractors were built. They were not built for men but for women! It was during World War I and England was experiencing a severe food crisis. Most of the men were at war and the farm work with horses was difficult [...]

Our farm is a paradise for birds, domesticated and wild. Farming without chemicals provides a safe habitat for birds to find abundant food and raise their families. Many of you have noticed that we have a lot of bird houses around the farm. Early this year I gave our children a challenge: I would provide [...]

Last month I shared with you a perspective of fossil fuels and carbon sequestering from my perspective as an organic farmer. One of the things that I stated is that "It is important for us to try to be independent thinkers, to research facts for ourselves, and to step back and try to look outside [...]
